"The Rarest of the Rare is Once Again Available"

This beautifully-built new guitar has all of the good looks of the original Gretsch solid body model of the mid 1950s. It weighs in at just 7.30 lbs. and has a very comfortable nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches and a scale length of 24 1/2 inches. Chambered mahogany body finished in Mahogany stain with Cadillac Green top, one-piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and aged vintage inlaid pearloid hump-top block position markers. Headstock with black overlay and inlaid pearloid Gretsch "T-roof" logo. The body has aged triple binding on the top and the neck and the headstock have aged single binding. Individual open-back Grover StaTite tuners with oval metal buttons. Serial number ("JD05 031630") stamped on the back of the headstock. Two Gretsch DynaSonic (DeArmond) single-coil pickups with a outputs of 8.01k and 7.91k. Gold Plexi pickguard with pantograph-engraved Gretsch "T-roof" logo. Four controls (two individual volume controls and master tone control in a triangular configuration on lower treble bout and master volume control on upper treble bout) plus three-way selector switch on upper bass bout. "Arrow-through-G" knobs with cross-hatch pattern on sides. Gretsch (Melita) Synchro-Sonic bridge on ebony base and Gretsch Bigsby B3G vibrato tailpiece with pivoting arm. All hardware gold-plated. This guitar is in mint (9.50) condition. Housed in its original Gretsch black hardshell case with burgundy plush lining (9.50).
